YOUNG BENEFITS PISTOL.
A Sensational Development in the Ply
mouth Robbery.
Public Opinion Charges the Crime to
the Old Mans Relatives


NEWPORT, Dec. l2.
Wife and have concluded that that
pistol found the morning after the robbery
belonged TO my SON are the words of old
man Bennett as told to your reporter. This
revelation from the old people is not the
least of surprise. Notwithstanding the
fact that Foster and Whitney are now in Ban
gor jail with plenty of evidence to convict
them of the crime, and notwithstanding the
fact that the old mans granddaughter has
identified Foster as the tramp who called the
Wednesday before the robbery, the annouce-
ment of the aged couple is not at all surpris
ing.
People who have known the Bennett fam.
lily have not once changed the opinion they
expressed after the robbery That the
young man knew about the robbery before
more a settled conclusion 1t appears plain
than ever that the robbery was put up
job BY the son, Patten and perhaps others,
with Whitney and Foster to relieve Peter

get the assistance of the old mans son, this
was in accordance with pre-arranged plan
and was done to give the ''robbers" time to
get away. The fact that Whitney and Fos-
ter had but a few thousand dollars also in
public opinion, tends to prove that they were
pa only a small part of the plumber
for performing the dastardly deed.
People here seem to think that if proper
search were made considerable booty could
be fonnd. II is too plain case, say some,
and should be handled without gloves.
gentleman said to your reporter, Young
Bennett and his wife, and Patten and his
wife ought to be Immediately arrested and
put where they will be safe and where they
will not be able to further blind the officers
working up the case" This suggestion is
seconded by other persons of the same opin-
ion, aud if these parties are not arrested it
will be because some of the evidence is
proven worthless. But how the pistol busi-
ness is going to be explained is a question
that cant very well be answered at this time.
1t seems to devolve upon ,he relatives to
prove their innocence. If they care to do
this, then every thing is all right so far as
they are concerned and Foster and Whitney
will stand alone in the affair.

Yule Greek is coming to the
front with her large mineral con-
tact, which underlies the marble
beds and extends over to Sheep
mountain, on which large number
of properties are being opened up.
Last wednesday we made a trip
over to Yule creek and found sew
eral claims being developed. Wis
iting Hanlon Bros we found them
hard at work upon their new dis
covery. They are running an in
cline upon the ore body, and are
sacking large quantity of carbon
ate ore for shipment, and have put
two shifts at work. Above them e.
L. Jones has two locations which he
has opened up, that show a we'll de-
fined vein carrying fine looking
carbonate of lead and iron ore.
Close to these properties Barnes
and Bennett are opening a prom
Using vein; and up the hill Mason
and Ring are also at work upon the
contact, where it shows itself to be
several feet in width, and undoubt-
edly is good thing. Still higher
Robinson, Clayton and Price have
a location which carries the same
carbonate ore. Considerable is be-
ing done around the marble, and we
may hear Of more ore being found
with close prospecting. There is,
however, a sufficient number of
openings upon this contact to make
n dozen good mines when fully
developed, and as work progresses
we will watch with interest.

Substantial Progress.

The evidences of permanent i'm
provement which are visible in
every part of the mining territory
are some of the most substantial
proof of the advancement of the
mining industry and its establish
ment upon a foundation of business
principles. The improvement in
dicated is not confined to an advance
in one direction, but there are many
points visible which are worthy of
consideration.
Many new and important fields
have been added to the territory in
the older districts.
The more recent improvements
noted in the southern coal and iron
fields, the addition of a new region
producing iron, silver and gold in
the Lake Superior country, the
rapid utilization of new gas and Pc
troleum supplies, already make a
rapid advance in the direction indi-
Gated; but more valuable than all,
as standard of satisfactory growth,
is the fact that under more favor
able circumstances, with modern
appliances and Improvements, many
old and abandoned fields, deserted
as worthless and improbable, are
proving to be most satisfactory from
a business standpoint. These
things demonstrate to a certainty
that the charge of unreliableness SO
often made against mining enter
prises must be charged to methods,
circumstances, and inexperience,
instead of to the business itself.
As these truths become known, and
those interested in this direction
should assist in making the facts
mora prominent, there is a visible
change in tho tone of public senti;
ment, and capital again, with judic-
ious and commendable cautiousness
is steadily increasing its movemet
in this direction.
The profit, the security and the re-
liability of mining as a business can
be demonstrated permanently and
practically only by the substantial
production of It's mines; all Other
n ethods are deceptive and delusive
and can never secure the advantage
desired.-Chicago Mining Review

Effects Of Snow OH Marble.

The result of the examination of
snow taken from different places in
Munich and its neighborhood, by Mr..
Sendtner, says the Pharmaceutical
Journal (LondonO, would seem to in.
dicate not only that snow has con.
siderable faculty for absorbing sui.
phurous acid from the atmosphere
but that the absorption goes OH con-
tinuously for some time. MIR. Sendtner
ascertained that, on one day when snow
fell, sulphurous and sulphuric acids
were presen: in it in fairly equal por.
tions. but on the second day almost all
the sulphurous acid had been ozonized
to sulphuric acid. In the vicinity Of
chimneys and gas works the absorption
would, of course, be greater. This
great absorptive power toward sui.
phurous and sluphnric acids is con-
sidered of great practical interest, as
explaining the destructive infuerccot
snow on marble statuary,-[Scientific

Yule Greek.

Richard Thompson, the veteran
prospector, is in, 6Iom Yule creek,
where he and Wmlsp H. Croutch
have located a number of claims.
The claims are about FOUR miles up
Yule creek near the marble fields,
and near the property in which Jim
McGee is Interested. Among
them are the Stratford, Ontario,
Modass, Ruby and Silver, Ready
Cash, Quaker and Arkansaw. The
Stratford is located on an enor-
nous iron lead. The most valuable
claim in the group is that which,
from its rich appearance, they have
called the Ready Cash. This
shows vein ab ,ut nine feet vile.
1t carries much rich ore; the silver
being associated with bismuth.
Mr.. Thompson packed in about 100
pounds of the ore AMI an assay
made from it showed 654 ounces of
silver per ton. They regard the
Ready Cash as big property and
will Immediately open it up. The
formation IN which this mineral is
found is blue lime, the gangue
matter of the vein being short lime.
